BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN Byron Jones Cowboys Jersey , Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- Brunei Darussalam has been ranked 86th in a latest study on global Internet speed among 189 countries surveyed, according to a local media report on Wednesday.


Singapore has the world's fastest download speed of 55.13 megabytes per second (Mbps) while Brunei pales in comparison with only 3.83 Mbps in the survey.


In other words, Internet users in Brunei have to take four hours 27 minutes and 31 seconds to download a 7.5 GigaByte (GB) High Definition (HD) movie, while a similar download takes only 18 minutes and 34 seconds in Singapore.


The findings are based on data collected over 12 months up to May 10 this year by M-Lab, a partnership between New America's Open Technology Institute Maliek Collins Cowboys Jersey , Google Open Source Research, Princeton University's PlanetLab and other supporting partners.


Brunei stands at No. 15 in the Asia-Pacific region. Its Internet speed lags five Southeast Asian countries - Singapore (No. 1), Thailand (29th place at 16.85 Mbps), Malaysia (63rd at 6.69 Mbps), Vietnam (74th at 5.46 Mbps) Jaylon Smith Cowboys Jersey , and Indonesia (75th at 5.19 Mbps).


According to the survey, war-torn Yemen comes in last at an average speed of just 0.34 Mbps. It will take over two days to download a 7.5 GB HD movie there.


Twenty of the top 30 fastest-performing countries are located in Europe, with seven in Asia, two in North America and one in Oceania.


A total of 139 countries failed to achieve average speeds above 10 Mbps which is a speed deemed by some telecom watchdogs to be the minimum speed required to cope with the needs of a typical family or small business.

NAIROBI Xavier Woods Cowboys Jersey , Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's ministry of agriculture on Wednesday announced the disbursement of 3 million U.S. dollars to livestock keepers in the arid and semi arid counties that are reeling from negative impacts of a prolonged drought.


Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries Willy Bett said that 11,500 pastoralists in six arid counties will benefit from the new insurance payouts to enhance their resilience in the face of climatic stresses.


"The payout is intended to purchase animal feeds, provide water, procure animal health care services and move animals to areas with better forage to cushion them against severe starvation and possible deaths Jourdan Lewis Cowboys Jersey ," said Bett.


The ministry of agriculture in partnership with the World Bank and Nairobi based International Livestock Research Institute(ILRI) in June 2014 launched the insurance scheme for herders to cushion them from devastations linked to climate change.


Bett disclosed that 19,000 households in ten drought prone counties have received 2.2 million dollars since the launch of Kenya Livestock Insurance Program three years ago.


"This year, the government has expanded the livestock insurance to cover eight counties. A contract to cover 8,000 households has been signed and will commence in October," Bett told reporters.


Kenya has one of the most vibrant livestock sectors in the region which contributes an estimated 12 percent to the country's GDP.


The sector has nevertheless grappled with myriad challenges that include climatic shocks Chidobe Awuzie Cowboys Jersey , infectious diseases, market volatility and collapsed veterinary services.


Bett said that introduction of insurance scheme for herders coupled with revival of veterinary services and establishment of new abattoirs have enhanced the resilience of the livestock sector.
